COST strongly encourages interaction and co-operation also with other forms of scientific and technical research activities, e.g., other programmes funded by the EU, standardisation bodies, activities in the Community R&D programmes, EUREKA, the European Science Foundation.

At this aim, workshops will be organised. These will both foster dissemination and increase the share of knowledge within the European scientific community.

Workshops could be either specifically designed or organized as dedicated sessions during a conference on topics related with the Action.
